The vURL server is still being flooded, which is obviously slowing it down for those accessing sites housed on it. I'm still working to mitigate it.
Due to a recent move, the mysteryfcm.co.uk server is still down. Hoping to have this back online in the next day or two.http://hphosts.blogspot.com/2017/06/info-server-issues.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (MysteryFCM)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2590733549034628316.post-5163731099251365484Fri, 17 Mar 2017 13:04:00 +00002017-03-17T06:04:46.963-07:00hpHosts: Updated 17th March 2017The hpHOSTS Hosts file has been updated.

Modified MySQL functions to use mysqli_ instead of mysql_
Ref: http://php.net/manual/en/ref.mysqli.php
Notes:
If running PHP 5.5 or earlier, you will need to either stay with v0.58, or upgrade PHP to 5.6 or above, as the mysql_* extension has been deprecated by the PHP developers, in favour of the improved mysqli_* extension.
